As I pointed out before, 400 W * 60 s = 24,000 J/min, or 5,714 calories. The flow rate is 292 ml/min so the water temperature would rise 20°C, to 33°C. Wet steam has a lot more enthalpy than water at 33°C. > Thus, he was very concerned about the person doing the test properly, so > they would get the right answer. > I get that impression.
